    Bamboo knitting needles work well. Pre covid19 they could be found on thrift shops.

    Three Tsubas

    b.hennick replied to Promo's topic in Tosogu

    I think that the third one is a Higo Jingo tsuba.

    Mark, I hope that this does not lead to you "polishing" Japanese swords. I have seen too many blades that have been severely harmed by amateur, self trained polishers.

    I want to share my bokuto.

    Welcome Dave - you will find a few swords swingers here. Most of us just study swords not swing them.

    I always take my own light to a museum. Usually they let me use it. I also have a willing cane with a drop down seat. It allows you to sit in front of a blade and use your light to see better.

    Hi Anik I reduce the file size by setting the resolution to 120 dpi and the physical size at either 10" height or 8" width. You do not want megapixel images but kb pixels.

    Admin can you please move to the appropriate forum?

    Hello: I asked for a translation of this tanto by Masatada. Can someone please tell me about this koshirae - WWII era I believe.

    Thank you Kyle

    What does it read in English?

    I think that the blade was made by Murakami Masatada.

    Chris, Grey needs an email not a pm.

    Paul Martin used to sell microfiber cloths with his information on them. They work well and are not very expensive.

    Brian Tschernaga could turn those into fine kozuka.

    I look forward to working on the next instalment.

    Rust removal needs to be done as well. Yes the scratches can be removed by a professional and then the shakudo would need repatination.

    Darcy just listed a great set of menuki with this theme - solid gold juyo...

    Shinsa

    b.hennick replied to Pastor B's topic in Nihonto

    For many years shinsa have only been held in association with sword shows. I'm not sure but the Chicago show had one scheduled. The show was cancelled this past April.

    I Got them at the Tampa sword show. A Japanese dealer was selling them. I'm sorry that I don't remember his name. He made them into menuki nuki himself. These two are from koto blades.

    Here they are. The shorter one has a Maru mune.
